You extract the tarball archive on your backup server and upload it to the Windows box, and there you untar it with the WinTar provided with Win32 Amanda (different of course from the GNU tar, due to NT file rights...). amrestore is possible, but I don't like the ability of the client to log in as root without password on the backup server, so I tested the solution but did not put it in production. amrestore is also helped by a GUI written in Python (need to install a Python interpreter on your Windows box, easy way but not so easy to automatically deploy). > > Have you, or will you, put the changes out for others? Will be done. See my previous mail ;)
